More Communities Encourage Breastfeeding-Friendly Businesses
Black Hills area businesses have joined Aberdeen and Brookings in their efforts to promote the Breastfeeding-Friendly Business Initiative. A team of advocates, supporters and community leaders in the Black Hills were inspired to follow suit to encourage local businesses to pledge their support to breastfeeding moms by creating breastfeeding-friendly environments for both customers and employees!
Mitchell, Hot Springs, and Huron have also expressed interest in the initiative and are now canvassing businesses in their communities.
Brookings was selected by the South Dakota Department of Health as the pilot community for the Breastfeeding-Friendly Business Initiative with the goal of working with businesses to make breastfeeding in public a non-event and making pumping at work a non-event.
Breastfeeding provides many health benefits for both mom and baby, but it's also good for business: breastfeeding mothers are more likely to patronize businesses where they feel comfortable, businesses with breastfeeding programs have higher employee retention rates, and breastfeeding moms also miss work less often and report higher work satisfaction and productivity.
Businesses can take the pledge to:
o Provide a welcoming environment where breastfeeding mothers are able to breastfeed in public spaces within the business.
o Encourage a welcoming attitude from staff, management, and to the fullest extent possible, other customers.
o Place the Breastfeeding Welcome Here window cling in each public entrance to the business establishment.
o Accommodate breastfeeding employees to allow appropriate time and space necessary to pump, to best of their ability.
Brookings businesses that have stepped up to become the first in the state to take the pledge include: 3M, Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce, Brookings County, Brookings Health System, Children's Museum of South Dakota, City of Brookings, Hy-Vee, and South Dakota State University.
The Brookings Supports Breastfeeding team represents the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce, Brookings Health System, and South Dakota State University and are the primary partners in this initiative.

Park Rx: When Your Doctor Prescribes Exercise You Get A Day In the Park!
The South Dakota Department of Health and the Department of Game Fish and Parks are teaming up with doctors and healthcare providers to encourage physical activity through the Park Rx program.
The program encourages healthcare providers to prescribe exercise – and when they do – patients can take their Park Rx to any South Dakota State Park and turn it in for a FREE 1-Day pass or a discounted annual pass.
The trend to prescribe physical activity is sweeping the nation and we want healthcare providers in South Dakota to sign up. Here's how you can help:
- Spread the Word – talk to your friends, family, and ask your doctor or provider if they are participating in the Park Rx program.
- Plan an Event during National Park Week and register it at ParkRX.org. Involve your school, community, or workplace, and be sure to let your doctor or provider know so they can plan their own events!
- Let Us Help – fill out the form below and we'll send your doctor or healthcare provider information on how they can sign up and start prescribing exercise in South Dakota state parks.
- Visit a Park Near You – make it a habit and explore all of South Dakota's fantastic state parks!
Yes! Please send my provider information about the Park Prescription Project!

Park RX is sweeping the nation! As seen on National Geographic and Scientific American!
The South Dakota Park Prescription Project aligns with the vision of the Exercise Is Medicine initiative. The goal is to make physical activity and exercise a standard part of global disease prevention and treatment. Our goal is to increase assessment and prescription of physical activity. Park RX is a great way for you to encourage physical activity for your patients.
For a complete listing of South Dakota State Parks and to find the ones closest to you visit South Dakota Game, Fish & Parks.
For more information about exercise assessment and prescription, please visit ExerciseIsMedicine.org
ParkRx.org provides information about the national park prescription program as well as the incredible physical, mental, and social benefits of exercise in nature.
To find out how to measure the level of physical activity that's right for you, talk to your doctor and visit Health.gov
Exercise Is Medicine for Everyone
We've all heard that physical activity is good for us, but did you know that regular physical activity can improve muscular fitness, aid in prevention of falls, assist with weight management and improve cognitive function in older adults?
And, research has shown physical activity can effectively prevent certain chronic diseases and help treat or monitor others. It's true! Here's an example – if a person has been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, physical activity can be used to help manage it. If it runs in your family – regular physical activity can prevent it entirely! How cool is that!
If you or someone you love needs a little motivation, talk to your healthcare provider about a prescription for physical activity!
Exercise is Medicine for Kids Too
The number of health benefits associated with regular physical activity is practically endless, and yet many children and adolescents don't get the recommended 60 minutes or more each day. The CDC and several partner organizations have developed the Youth Physical Activity Guidelines Toolkit, which offers strategies that schools, families, and communities can use to support youth physical activity.
If you're ready to promote kids and physical activity – get the toolkit at CDC.gov
Why Walk 20 Minutes?
There are mountains of research, tons of studies, and endless reports stating Americans need to be more physically active. Of course, the truth is – most of us already know we should be more active – it can't hurt right? But, it seems like everywhere you turn there's different advice on how much exercise is the right amount. Which is why finding the right amount of physical activity, combining it with the right intensity level, and balancing that with the rest of a busy life can feel a tad overwhelming.
We do our best to keep up with the latest research and recommendations and here are some of the reasons adding about 20 minutes of physical activity to your daily routine makes sense to us and why we think it's a good goal to start you on the path to better health:
1. South Dakotans Need More Physical Activity
According to South Dakota's 2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, only 18.4% of adults achieved the recommended level of both aerobic and muscle strengthening physical activity, and 25.8% of adults are getting NO physical activity outside of work. What's even more concerning is that 72% of South Dakota youth (9-12 grade) does do not get the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity. Bottom line, we all need to get more exercise.
We checked in with South Dakotans on the subject and here's what we found:
Walking works.
When we think about adding exercise to our list, walking is the number one activity of choice, and the one we are most likely to engage in most often.
Walking is more fun with someone.
Friends, family, pets, or co-workers make walking (aka: exercising) easier, something we can look forward to, and something that we will do more regularly.
Walking covers a lot of bases.
No special equipment or membership required. You can walk fast, slow, up, down, in or out. No matter what your personal level of fitness, walking is something that almost everyone can add to their daily routine.
2. Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Goal: 150 Minutes Per Week
The federal Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion works with a variety of federal and state agencies and keeps track of all kinds of data. Based on this data, they have recommended Americans increase the amount of physical activity we get. Specifically, for adults, they recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity per week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity or an equivalent combination of both moderate and vigorous intensity.
That might sound a little intimidating, but when you break it down… it's really only about 20 minutes per day.
3. Surgeon General's Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities
Recently, the Surgeon General also weighed in on the need for more physical activity, pointing to the numerous health benefits of walking with a Call to Action to increase walking across the United States by calling for improved access to safe and convenient places to walk and wheelchair roll and by creating a culture that supports these activities for people of all ages and abilities. And, because walking is one of the easiest and most common forms of exercise, it only makes sense to make walking a national priority.
4. Take The First Step – About 20 Minutes At A Time
There are plenty of sources, reports and recommendations pointing to walking as an easy way to increase levels of physical activity. And most experts will agree that adding between 20 and 30 minutes of exercise to your daily routine is a good place to start. The best part about walking for about 20 minutes a day is that it's an attainable goal. It's long enough to provide a number of benefits to your overall health, and short enough to fit into your regular routine.
So what are you waiting for? Take the first step, grab a friend, and take a walk! All you need is about 20 minutes! Walk, walk, walk!

Dear St. Luke's Parishioners,
The past few days feel much more like late July than early June - the heat is on! Not the Miami Heat either. We pray that God will bless the earth in this part of the world with the gift of rain. May some of what the South East part of the country is receiving come our way.
Sunday evening through Thursday noon, I joined the priests of the diocese at our Annual Priests' Retreat at Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri. The Abbey just finished a new guest house. We were the first group that used it and it is wonderful. I think it will hold about 30 guests. We had more priests than that and so it was first come first serve. Those who registered early enjoyed the new facilities. The retreat master was Fr. Don Goergen, O.P. He had wonderful conferences about how the Holy Spirit is in our lives and ministry.
When I returned Thursday evening, I was back in time for the 5:30 pm Mass at St. Anne's. Following that Mass, I attended the Catholic Charities Nite at the Cubs, getting there just in time before the food was taken away from the dinner with the Bishop. What a wonderful evening and ball game.
Friday after Mass, I went out to the future building site to meet with a group of architects who are interested in helping with our Master Plan for St. Luke's. They wanted to see the lay of the land and had questions about what would be there one day. It is great to stand up on the top of the hill on St. Luke's property and just imagine what one day will be there. Later that afternoon, I was part of a review of the interviews of a potential seminarian with good recommendations of the young man. That evening and the next morning, I met with two couples to plan their summertime weddings. It is great to work with couples who are going to be and might be part of St. Luke's soon.
Saturday evening, I was asked to have the opening and closing prayer for an Eagle Scout Ceremony for two young men. It is an impressive ceremony and represents a lot of work on both parts to get to that level of leadership and work.
Sunday afternoon, the Stewardship Committee met for their regular meeting.
Keep the Strategic Planning Team in your prayers that the Holy Spirit will guide us in interviewing and selecting an architectural firm to help us with the Master Planning for St. Luke's. We hope to be able have a firm on board in the next week. Their role will be to help us put together the Master Plan during the next several months. The Team will be reporting to the parish in the very near future. We hope to have some town hall meetings to present the progress so far. Be looking for more information about the master plan developments and your opportunity to give input.
Hopes and dreams about our parish facilities are beginning to advance. Stop by the property some time and walk up the hill. Look around and use your imagination about what will be there.
Keep July 1, 11:45 am, on your schedule for the Independence Celebration Walk and Picnic ending up at the State Capital.
Fr. Larry Hoffmann

CURRENTLY LISTENING: Heatwave by Wild Ones
Just when I thought that summer was over, Portland's Wild Ones releases the Heatwave EP and it makes me want to do the season all over again. So many smooth grooves on this one, ripe for poolside lounging and dancing late into the night with your sexy lover. The two pre-released singles "Dim the Lights" and "Show Me Islands" are stand-out tracks for those exact reasons—so undeniably catchy even for the hard-hearted. "They Said" packs on the meaning a little more with swelling dynamics and lyrics filled with end-of-summer longing. Whereas their first album Keep it Safe was more on the indie rock side of the spectrum, Heatwave dives deeper into dark electronic sounds and experimental ambient beats. So though it is still technically a summer album, just like the season, there is that underlying sadness of not wanting the fun to ever end. When Danielle Sullivan sings "Oh baby baby come dance with me" on the final track, "Loveless", the feeling is as listless as it is blissful.
Take a listen, purchase here and ride out the summer on these chill vibes.

Carrier scanner
carrier scanner
(Or "wardialer") A program which uses a modem to dial a series of phone numbers (say, from 770-0000 to 770-9999), and keeps a log of what phone numbers answer with a modem carrier. The results of such a search were generally used by people looking to engage in random mischief in random machines.
Since the 1980s, wardialers have generally fallen into disuse, partly because of easily available "caller ID" technology, partly because fax machines are now in wide use and would often be logged as a carrier by a wardialer, and partly because there are so many new and more interesting venues for computerised mischief these days.

Heres the breakdown of Day 4.:
- 9 a.m Breakfast Scramble. +Coffee (saved the berries and almonds to be eaten later)
- 11a.m. frozen berries with almonds + Water
- 2 p.m-5p.m Yogurt Parfait .Eaten while at work in small intervals due to my job +Water
- 8 p.m. Spinach Salad w/Berries, Almonds and a hard boiled Egg + Water
- 10:40 p.m. Berry Smoothie with Almond Butter
What I have noticed is that on my busiest days this week my dinner salad only held me over for about an hour before I felt hungry again. On those days, it helps to know that a few hours away the smoothie awaits.
I jokingly asked TheFiance yesterday if he thinks he had it in him to do this for another set of five days. His response was that he COULD but he'd rather not. Interesting as I was sort of expecting a great big "HELL NO"... he even took it a step further and suggested we start every month with this 5 day fast forward to cleanse us out consistently.
umm... wha??
Gotta say, I wasn't expecting that one! Even though he's been talking about his desire for a cookie the past few days he's enjoying the way this eating has been making him feel. One point in favor of the book... so far.
I should also mention that TheFiance has been taking in an extra hard boiled egg some days. I know it was suggested to do so in the book if you found yourself far too hungry in your day but I can't seem to find exactly where that page went in the book.
Day 5 is upon us and we weigh in Saturday morning to see the results. This could prove very interesting. I meant to ask TheFiance if he's ever gone on a weightloss program of any kind in his life but I keep forgetting. I know he's talked about joining a gym or taking up boxing classes in the past but he's never really made a mention of weight loss. I always get curious about the male point of view.
As for the next few days to come, I'm thinking this Peach and Pecan French Toast may be the winner for our Saturday morning breakfast. We'll be reviewing some of the recipes in her book as well as scouting the internet for other swaps and suggestions from Ms Sass to plan out our weeks menu.
Thats right... I said it. PLANNING. Who knew I had it in me? :-O
Anyone want to take bets on whether or not I will actually stay on this program for 30 full days? Currently I'm still in the "high" stage of something shiny and new... i'm infamous for dropping the ball on things and never caring enough to pick them back up.
Time will tell though! Time will tell :0)

can't resist--could you do a silly swine flu sign on that pig?
maybe "swine flu not welcome here"?
If you paint chalkboard paint--then you could do a swine flu thing and then redo it when that isn't the talk of the town...

This may sound odd for the pig, but since the shape is so cute, what if you decoupaged it with a black & white damask paper? I think that would be interesting.

Love all your finds! For the pig, I may would spray him all red, then do a chalk board in the middle (leaving a small red border) and hang with some black and white checked ribbon?? Just a thought.

ZitatThe Grand Canyon is a wonder of the world, but long lines and crowded parking lots at Grand Canyon National Park can have visitors wondering if they'll ever get out of the car to see it.
Shuttle service from Tusayan, a mile south of the park entrance, to the Grand Canyon Visitor Center in the park can save time and stress. The service starts March 1, just in time for the busy spring-break travel period, and continues through Sept. 30.
Shuttle buses run at 20-minute intervals from 8 a.m.-9:45 p.m. daily. Riders must have a valid park pass, which can be purchased online in advance or in Tusayan at the IMAX Theater, RP's Stage Stop, Canyon Plaza Resort or Red Feather Lodge.
Avoid the long entrance line
There are several reasons not to drive into the park.
Shuttle riders bypass the long lines of cars waiting to enter. Waits can be more than an hour during the busiest times.
Parking lots often fill up by 11 a.m.
Drivers have to deal with road work in the park.
About 211,000 riders used the shuttle last year. Officials say that meant about 35,000 fewer vehicles entered the park.
"Riding the shuttles helps protect resources, reduces crowding on park roadways and reduces our carbon footprint," Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent Chris Lehnertz said in a press release. "We hope visitors and residents will continue to use and enjoy the Tusayan Route this year."
Four stops in Tusayan
Shuttle riders can park their vehicles anywhere in Tusayan. The shuttles make four stops: the IMAX Theater/RP's Stage Stop, Best Western Grand Canyon Squire Inn, The Grand Hotel and Big E Steakhouse and Saloon.
Buses take riders to the Grand Canyon Visitor Center. There, visitors have easy access to walking paths, scenic viewpoints and other services. They can also hop on the free shuttle buses to hotels, trailheads, Grand Canyon Village and other highlights.

ZitatClosures include South Entrance Road from Yavapai Geology Museum to Park Headquarters. The geology museum is open. Vehicles longer than 22 feet attempting to drive to Yavapai Geology Musuem and Yavapai Point must turn around at Grand Canyon Visitor Center.
In addition to the projects listed below, Yaki Point Road and South Kaibab Trailhead Road will also have construction. Shuttle buses will still service the Kaibab (Orange) Route, although schedules and stops may be altered.

ZitatAnother major phase of the South Rim Roads Improvement Project is set to begin this week, when contractors begin paving Village Loop Drive. This work, starting Thursday, April 19, is expected to take three to three-and-a-half weeks from start to finish.
Starting on April 19, all Village Loop Drive Traffic will be one-way, with all phases of paving occurring in the opposite lane. No street parking will be allowed. Visitors and residents can expect some delays associated with the work; however, all roads will be open. There will be limited access to businesses on Village Loop Drive for four to six hours on a single day the last week of the paving schedule, approximately May 2 to May 9. Two days prior to paving operations that will limit access, notices will be provided to the businesses to notify guests and service providers of specific area closures.
In addition to the paving work in Grand Canyon Village, South Entrance Road from Yavapai Geology Museum to Park Headquarters is anticipated to reopen Thursday, April 19, and traffic will no longer take a detour through the Market Plaza area. Work at the Yaki Point/South Kaibab trailhead area should be open to permissible traffic by Monday, April 23; however, milling for asphalt paving will begin on April 30. There will be no parking in the South Kaibab trailhead parking lot through approximately May 14. During the four day paving operation, anticipated to be May 7 to 11, there will be no shuttle service to Yaki Point or the South Kaibab trailhead. The closest shuttle stop is at Pipe Creek Vista, approximately one mile from the South Kaibab trailhead, via the Greenway Trail. The Maswik Lodge shuttle bus stop will be closed from about April 17 to April 23 to allow for concrete to be poured and cured.
As always in construction zones, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists should be on the lookout for large machinery, and follow detour signs and flaggers.

ZitatYou've probably seen it by now. A viral video of a visitor giving a drink of water to a squirrel at the Grand Canyon.
While the video may appear cute and heartwarming, officials from the Grand Canyon National Park have a message to everyone who watches the clip: resist the urge to feed wild animals.
"It can be hard to resist helping what seems to be a helpless woodland creature, but remember that they can always find their own water and food -- they're wild," a Facebook post read from the park read.
The reminder is an effort to limit the unnecessary interactions between people and wildlife.
"Please practice being safe and keep our wildlife wild. Bites and injuries from animals like squirrels and elk occur when these wild animals get used to people food and develop aggressive behaviors," reads the post.

ZitatThere's a dubious accolade for Arizona's biggest tourist attraction:
Among the most-visited U.S. national parks, Grand Canyon gets the most lightning strikes.
Grand Canyon National Park averaged 15,854 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes per year from 2008 to 2017, according to the National Lightning Detection Network.
Zion National Park in Utah was second with about 5,700 lightning strikes per year, followed by Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee with about 4,000.
The National Lightning Detection Network is based in Tucson and operated by Vaisala, a Finnish company that provides extensive lightning and other data to meteorologists.

ZitatDescribing hiking trails at Grand Canyon as easy sounds like a contradiction, but just it's a matter of choosing the right direction. Start walking east or west and you'll generally enjoy a lovely woodland stroll. Turn north or south and you'll encounter a pretty steep drop-off.
So give your knees and lungs a break. Here are the best easy trails at Grand Canyon National Park (with a couple of moderate ones). Stay mostly atop the rims and enjoy the cooler temperatures. And, oh yeah, the views aren't bad either.

ZitatGrand Canyon National Park will implement closures of the Cape Royal Road, Cape Final Trail, and Cliff Spring Trail tomorrow August 4th, 2018 at 9:00 pm. This closure is for public and firefighter safety as crews continue to prep the Walhalla Plateau. Park visitors currently planning on driving along Cape Royal Road or hiking at Cape Final or Cliff Spring are required to be out of the area by 9:00 pm. tomorrow. The temporary closure is in effect until further notice. The road to Point Imperial and all other North Rim trails and facilities are open at this time.
The Obi Fire is approximately 2,270 acres. Growth today was primarily in the northern and eastern portions of the fire perimeter. Light southwesterly winds throughout the day allowed fire to grow through pine needles and downed logs. Fire behavior was active with single tree torching and surface fire of one to four foot flames where the fire was consuming dead logs. "While crews continue prep of the Walhalla Plateau, we would like to acknowledge the inconvenience it creates for visitors and appreciate their understanding in prioritizing firefighter and public safety," said Incident Commander trainee Bryan Hakanson.
Located in the far southwest corner of the Wahalla Plateau above Obi Point, the Obi Fire started on July 21st. Fire managers plan to continue the strategy of confining and containing the lightning caused fire in a predetermined area while providing for point protection of identified sensitive natural and cultural resources.
Smoke from the Obi Fire is visible from both the North and South Rims of the park. Visitors may see increased smoke or haze filling the canyon.
Each fire start is evaluated by fire management officials for the most appropriate management strategy. Firefighter safety, resources at risk, location of the fire, available resources, regional and national preparedness levels, and weather forecast are taken into consideration when responding to a wildfire ignition.

Delford Morgan, Mayor of Savanna-la-mar and Chairman of the Westmoreland Parish Council, has called for improvements to the parish's fire department so that it could effectively deal with fires and other emergencies.
This call comes against the background of reports of lack of necessary fire-fighting equipment at the Westmoreland Fire Department, in addition to "limping units and mal-functioning fire hydrants."
"I am calling on the fire department to acquire funds to do what the law mandates them to do. The Fire Brigade Act makes it very clear that it is the duty of the (Jamaica) Fire Brigade to have serviceable engines and apparatus including hydrants always in a state of readiness, so that in the event of a fire, they can minimize the loss of lives or property", Mayor Morgan told JIS News.
He noted that the entire business community and residents of Westmoreland were at risk and "the Council was making it a priority to ensure that the parish was a safe place for all persons".
He indicated that the Parish Council was seeking to revive its 'adopt-a-hydrant' campaign, which last year saw several fire hydrants across the parish being rehabilitated. Meanwhile, Homer Morris, Deputy Superintendent of the Westmoreland Fire Department, told JIS News that the Department was aware of the concerns and was seeking to deal with them. He stated however, that the department was limited by lack of funds.
"We are about to deal with the repairing of fire hydrants in the parish of Westmoreland, but for major repairs, like removing valves and replacing hydrants, we are not yet in that position. This would require much more funds than what are presently available, including expertise from the National Water Commission, to effectively accomplish the job", Supt. Morris noted.
He explained further, that the fire station was equipped with a rapid response unit, which could be put into action if and when an emergency arose.

Last Friday, the Green Hope football team took on Garner in the third round of the NHSAA state championship tournament. They ended up falling 56-39 in a hard fought battle. Garner is moving on to the fourth round to play Wake Forest.
Green Hope came out hot, with touchdowns from both Blake Watson and Quel Watkins, they found themselves with an early 14-0 lead. After trading scores, midway through the 2nd quarter, the Falcons maintained a 21-7 lead. Garner then put up 14 unanswered points to tie the game, and gave the ball back to the Falcons with less than a minute left. After driving down the field, Willie Taylor hit Sohum Singh in the corner of the endzone to take the halftime lead, 27-21
The second half was a different story for the Falcons. They came out dry, and Garner came out quite the opposite. They scored 14 in a row, and took their first lead of the game 35-27. From there, the Trojans never looked back, not losing the lead for the rest of the game. The final score was 56-39.
It was a great ride, hate for it to come to an end. I am so proud of what @GHHS_Football accomplished this year. You fought hard, played with heart, and had fun doing it. Thanks to the seniors and the best staff anywhere for your leadership. Coach Shea and Mama Nagel are smiling
— David Green (@coachdavidgreen) November 25, 2017
The boys had an incredible season with numerous players being selected to the all-conference team : Jordyn Adams, Blake Watson, Willie Taylor, Quel Watkins, Bo Ressler, Nick Vivona, Paul Robinson, Andrew Becvar, Monte Williams, Chuck Hills and Aiden Callahan. Ethan Melton and Colin Nagel both made honorable mention.
The seniors will surely be missed, but the team will come back strong next year and look to make yet another playoff run.

USA, New Jersey & New York: Superstorm Sandy debris clean-up update
Published: 2013-05-04 23:00:00
Topics: Cruising Information , Weather
Countries: USA
Full report and many more details at http://www.waterwayguide.com/newsupdate.php?area=3&id=2484
In late October, 2012, Superstorm Sandy dealt a devastating blow to marine facilities, navigation aids and channels along the New Jersey and New York coastlines. A few marinas in the surge area were lucky to suffer limited damage, but most were not so lucky. The storm also changed the coastline itself, adding new "inlets" and choking the northern NJ ICW and other channels with sunken boats, sand, silt and debris from buildings and piers washed away by the storm. Debris created hazards also along the oceanfront in shallower waters.
Immediately after the storm, most inlets were clear with services and anchorages available. Since then, a monumental rebuilding effort has been undertaken. The majority of marine facilities are either open or expect to reopen by the boating season, even in hard-hit areas. The New Jersey ICW and nearly all channels are open to navigation. Clean-up continues, and many areas are scheduled for dredging this spring.
Thinking of cruising north this summer?
New Jersey and New York will be open and waiting for you, and facilities should be plentiful. Whether you plan to travel inlet to inlet or on sections of the ICW, expect navigation and services to be nearly as usual. Some facilities may not have reopened for the season, and for others, capacities and amenities may have changed.

Ledisi's jazzy style earned her Grammy nominations for her breakthrough album "Lost & Found" and the follow-up, "Turn Me Loose." Now, the soulful singer is back with another stellar piece of work, "Pieces of Me," an album filled with engaging love songs and enjoyable high-tempo jams.
Ledisi thrives with passionate ballads that lyrically touch the soul as she sings about hope, love and self-assurance. For 12 tracks, the singer shows that she's fully content with her identity and being her own woman ? no matter what critics might say. She's clearly confident in herself, and it's certainly evident on the title track and the song "Shut Up."
Her vocals are powerful on the piano-driven "Bravo," encouraging listeners to celebrate when overcoming life's trials. She also sings about self-empowerment on "Shine" and "Raise Up."
On "Stay Together," she glows alongside Jaheim. The two exchange verses on working through relationship drama, and how their love has reached its full potential after the two put in the work to understand each other.
But while Ledisi sings about love at its highest, there's also gloom on the album with the lovesick "I Miss You Now," written by John Legend. She attempts to fix a broken relationship following a heated argument, pleading for her mate to return.
In all, Ledisi wows from beginning to the end and doesn't miss a beat with "Pieces of Me." She's already carved out her niche in the world of R&B, and it should not only continue to grow, but surge.
CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: "I Gotta Get to You" is a slow-paced, soulful ballad where Ledisi yearns to reach her lover face-to-face.

Wiring a light switch: How to control each lamp by separately switch in parallel lighting circuit?
In the real wiring system, switches are used so that each lamp can be controlled separately. This diagram shows how three Lamps control by separately switches, one for each lamp.
This is the control of lamps with switch These all three Lamps are connected in parallel.
You can see the Live (Phase or Line) wire to switch, in other words all switches are connected in Live (Phase or Line) wire
Point to be Noted: Switch is always (only and only) connected in Live (Phase or Line) wire. Not on Neutral wire.
- The first Lamp is OFF, because the switch which is connect to line is OFF, so the circuit is not complete, and there is no way to flowing current, in other word this is an open circuit.
- The second and Third Lamps are ON, because the switches which are connect to line is ON.so the circuit is complete.

About Judy
Contact Judy Taylor Office 760-782-2727 mobile and text 760-522-5556
I grew up in Southern California and had the uncommon good luck to be acquainted with a very famous rodeo cowboy named Casey Tibbs. When I was a young girl, I rode Casey's horses and herded cattle on the open ranges (and golf courses) of Ramona's Country Estates.
These were the most impressionable days of my life and they set the stage, so to speak, for my quest & my career as a performing cowgirl.
Casey could often be found in the company of the Hollywood "cowboys" of music and screen such as Slim Pickens, The Sons of Pioneers and many others. I remember cleaning a stall with the radio playing when this little elderly gentleman walked up and asked me for a dance. It was James Cagney! Unfortunately I was too young to know either his status or his dance steps, but I felt right at home with all the performers and horsey folks in those parts. I knew I'd found my herd and wanted to be a part of the western entertainment world.
Initially, I wanted to be a horse trainer and while I did get some formal instruction in the art, music came along and swept me up. My first steady gig was at a local nightclub playing for the Marines from Camp Pendleton in Oceanside who favored country music. I was 16 years old at the time and the money was better and the work less risky than breaking horses.
It is an amazing feeling to be on stage and have folks cheering you on for doing something you love. I will always be grateful for the support of all my audiences when I was getting started as I had no formal training in music and had only barely learned the guitar.
After traveling around the US and other parts of the world, I settled down on my own ranch with my own horses, burros and all the necessary critters and gardens.
My music had come into it's own. I wrote songs and recorded CD's with my all girl band the "Wild Oats". I had won Southern California 's Country Music Songwriter of the Year award in 1998 and was starting to look in new directions so as to create something uniquely my own. I came across the wild-west arts of trick roping, gun spinning and bull whip cracking. I fell in love with these quintessential western skills. I practiced, practiced and practiced 'till I was an acceptable performer and then added those arts to my performance.
Now as I spin ropes and yodel out my cowgirl songs to the world, I clearly see that I have been blessed and live in the heart of my dreams.
As I was inspired by the icons of my youth, sometimes I'm fortunate enough to see those same sparks rise in the eyes of the kids I perform for. If there was anything I could share from my life experience, it's that trail blazing is not as hard as one would think, and cowgirling is a darn fine profession.
With all the distractions and fast pace of entertainment these days, I hope that my carrying the torch of the American wild-west way of life will result in kids being inspired to learn the crafts themselves and choose to entertain with western arts and skills. There is nothing like the image of the western horseman to remind us of our roots.
Blessed trails………….Judy
Hi Judy,
I had been meaning to thank you for helping to make our Ad Sales dinner event a huge success! We were looking for a warm and inviting family-style event and your music and western-style activities made it all happen just the way I imagined and more!

You were a pleasure to work with, and I hope to find the next right fit for you again!
Have a wonderful holiday!

The Google Nexus 10, a Samsung tablet that has been talked about most frequently, is available for purchase from Google Play Store in US once again. The sale of the devices which ship under Google brand rather than Samsung, had been stopped a while ago due to unexplained reasons. The device was first launched in October 2012. Nexus 10, just like most of the other Nexus devices, has been very hard to procure since the device disappeared from Google Play or never even got there in several locations.
The US customers are in for a treat as Nexus 10 has once again made its appearance in Google Play Store for US. Google Nexus 10 16 GB and Nexus 10 32 GB can both be obtained from Google Play Store. It might take one or two weeks for the ordered tablets to get to the users though.
Google Nexus 10 is a tablet, sized 10 inches and having a 2560x1600 pixels resolution display. It runs on Exynos CPU of Samsung (ARM CPU) with dual core and is equipped with Mali-T604 which is responsible for game rendering and media playback.
This report of the availability of the tablets again is just like the one made in the beginning of January. The availability of the devices seems to be a fluctuating one and users had better grab their chance while they still have it.
The next generation version of Nexus 10, which will be equipped with a quad-core CPU and 8-core GPU, is to be launched during the Mobile World Congress to be held in February.

Famous columnist of the "The Guardian" shocked by Astana. I do not know if they came to Astana or write article that they have read but they wrote the "truth". At first I really liked their irony about Nursultan Nazarbayev BUT…..
His success in 1991 makes them laugh. The fact that in the past 25 years he remains the only president of our country shocking them. They also notes that the Nazarbayev University has become one of the best universities, but they criticizes that the University is named after him. So how it should be called? It means that we can also laugh at the fact that capital city of USA is named after the first president of the United States.
"Little wonder the Soviets chose this vast emptiness to hide their Gulags and their space programme, and to test their nuclear weapons. Much of it radioactive, it's an agoraphobic's vision of hell" (Giles Fraser, Welcome to Astana, Kazakhstan: one of the strangest capital cities on Earth)
Reporters comment the architecture of Astana, calling as unaccountable city on the planet. From my perspective of view the capital of the country should embody the history of the country. It should show the whole culture, the life of the country. However we live in Kazakhstan and the grass is green only in Astana . Firstly Khan Shatyr. By name you can understand how the building should look. But I believe that journalists do not know that the shatyr of khan must be the most beautiful, the richest, and should be full of miracles. In the capital's shatyr has all the wonders of the world. Even an artificial beach, which journalist so ridiculous comments.
I would like to protect the Bayterek. Journalists believe that the design of the Bayterek president came up with while eating lunch and drew on a napkin. That seems to me, journalist should understand the history of building, find out why it was so called, and what is Bayterek for Kazakh. Please, do not think that this lollipop in the center of the city.
"A vase-like tower with a ball on top that the president apparently designed on the back of a napkin during a state dinner. A finance ministry shaped as a dollar bill" (Giles Fraser, Welcome to Astana, Kazakhstan: one of the strangest capital cities on Earth)
As I said before, Kazakhstan is still associated with the USSR. While I was reading this article I had a feeling that since our country was part of the Soviet Union, even if Kazakhstan is independent country it should not develop its own direction. While journalists, foreigners, tourists do not stop to think about Kazakhstan as a country of Borat in the Soviet Union, all attempts to hold the Expo, Winter Olympic Games and other activities will be useless.

I really love dogs, I think they are the most adapted animals for us as a family!
We made so much nice experience and they make our family just complete. Every of them has his very own personality.
I love all of them, the big sweet giants and the little sweet critters. We have now four dogs in our family and we don't have any problem to handle it, we take them everywhere we go and they are always with us. It is just a litte hard if you are out in the evening for a walk and eating icecream, everyone looks at us and wants to give some cuddles to them. Sometimes it's okay, but sometimes you just want to be there as a family.

Paris prayer protest: 'In France we do not worship in the street'
A 'bizarre' confrontation took place in the Paris suburb of Clichy on Friday when a French mayor and dozens of MPs and elected councillors tried to stop around 200 Muslims from praying in a street.
According to this report, Théo Maneval, a reporter for the Europe1 radio news site, described the scenes as "bizarre" and "surreal" as the elected officials, singing the Marseillaise, appeared to try and physically displace those praying by cleaving a path right through them.
Maneval tweeted:
It's getting even more surreal, as the elected officials with their sashes try to jostle the people praying. Movement of crowd, jostling, people falling … The police intervene.
The local right wing mayor Remi Muzeau led the march to protest against the presence of hundreds of Muslim worshippers who have been praying in the town's market square every Friday for the past nine months. Muzeau was happy with the way thing went:
We did what the police should have done a long time ago.
A line of riot police separated the two groups and at one one point tensions appeared ready to boil over.
Muslim worshippers had been using the square to pray in a protest against a recent decision by the mayor to close their usual prayer hall nearby, which had welcomed up to 5,000 Muslim worshippers each day.
Authorities opened a new mosque for the community, but it was 1.5km away and worshippers said it was hard to reach. Their Friday protests have been aimed at pressuring the local council to agree to open a prayer hall in the centre of Clichy.
But those protests have infuriated local officials, who have called on the government to intervene, pointing out that praying in the street is illegal in France.
Said President of Île-de-France Valerie Pecresse:
The public space cannot be taken over illegally. We are in a country where we do not pray in the street, the rules of law are being flouted.
France's far right leader Marine Le Pen, who has long spoken out against Muslims praying in the street was quick to seize on the incident. She tweeted:
The Republic must go on the offensive in the face of Islamist provocations. What is the Minister of the Interior waiting for to restore public order and secularism? Laxity is not an option.
Rows over Muslims praying in public flare up regularly in strictly secular France. Worshippers have taken to the streets to pray in recent years often in protest over the shortage of mosques.
In 2015 there were calls by some in the Muslim community to turn some of the country's many empty churches into mosques, which drew much opposition on the right.
And in 2010, prayers in the street became a national issue when Marine Le Pen provoked outrage by comparing street prayers to the Second World War, likening them to an "occupation."
18 responses to "Paris prayer protest: 'In France we do not worship in the street'"
Religious aholes feeling privileged decide to stop all traffic thru a city square while showing a mythic creature their aholes because they can't walk 2000steps down a road.
Why not just move the coffee table aside and do your BS in the living room?
Why did they close the prayer hall? Different issue…sue the government!
And the opposition to use closed churches as prayer halls points to the bigotry of the locals as well. But then 'turn churches into mosques' should NOT mean just give them away! Make the muslins pay fair value for the property and this money goes to the state, as the church lived high on no taxes long enough!
The exhibitionism of this ridiculous posturing of the arses in the air is blatant. No, we are not impressed. Embarrassed maybe? Irritated by the nuisance caused, certainly.
Agreed Broga, but should they be banned?The same laws regarding gatherings and public nuisance should be applied as they would to any other public demonstration. I don't think that public prayer per se should be illegal-or specially protected either .
I'm reminded of the part in the bible that says you shouldn't pray in public, because it's hypocritical. Fortunately they're using a different book.
My life feels so empty since I don't have a centuries-old book to tell me how to live and what to think. I haz a sad.
Sounds like foolish escalation. Why and how was their previous location closed? If they had an indoor space for their jiggery-pokery, what was wrong with it?
Coopting public space for specific sectarian purposes isn't acceptable. But the report here implies that they're ratcheting up a clash that others started.
We are in a country where we do not pray in the street.
Undoubtedly wrong, and he means that they do not have Muslims praying in the street. I agree with other comments here; annoying thought these very public displays of sanctimony are – as is street preaching – they shouldn't be banned, though the police may be in the wrong for allowing an obstruction of the highway. Politicians are riding a dangerous wave of nationalism in Europe at the moment – ironic as we approach the one hundredth anniversary of the end of World War One.
"Pure Poland, white Poland"
I can just imagine the French police using water cannons on all these up-turned arses – that would make a great photo. But blocking the road as a religious demonstration should certainly not be allowed. Why doesn't the council put on a few buses to take these rationally blind devotees down the road to the new mosque?
However, what this little 'spat' portends is, perhaps, the shape of things to come – especially when the avowed aim of many militant muslims is to 'out-breed' the indigenous European populations. What will happen in these sleepy French towns when muslims out-number the French citizens? Will the muslims be so integrated they will embrace all the deep libertarian and democratic values of a country whose revolution once inspired the world? I doubt it.
At least someone is doing something. Multiple streets in London are blocked on multiple days – where, of course, they get special privileges.
The irony is, if you go to a liberal Muslim country like Morocco, you'll hear calls to prayer, but catch a glimpse inside a Mosque and you're likely to find it nearly empty. I suspect the majority of Muslims emigrating to Europe are similarly liberal, and the reason we see "devout" Muslims ostentatiously praying in the streets is because they've been made to feel marginalised. The best way to inculcate immigrants into our culture may be to make the path away from Islam as welcoming and supportive as possible.
@ Laura R: I understand the point you're trying to make, but wouldn't such muslim immigrants immediately feel that they were being surreptitiously 'christianised'. And with the death penalty for muslim apostates hanging over their heads, there is probably more chance of turning cricket bats into apple pies. But you are right – anything that marginalises or alienates potentially 'liberal' muslims, is a step in the wrong direction.
Laura: That's a great point, and reminded me of something that has perplexed me for years. We moved to an expanding town in southern England in 1958, which is when I became seriously involved with the Plymouth Brethren. Many others were attracted there from areas like Belfast, Newcastle, and London of course (where "slums" were being cleared – many now converted to expensive apartments!), and Christian families joined the "assemblies" in the town. It became obvious that many of these Christians had only been nominal members of their churches "back home", as they would have put it, but now became very enthusiastic and active members of their new churches. I wonder whether this had something to do with feelings of alienation in a completely new environment, and whether they were searching for a new identity in the town, especially on soulless housing estates with little sense of community yet? I might also add (though I do realize that this is all anecdotal evidence) that Polish and Irish churches and community centres were full to overflowing at that time (the Polish community having settled in the town after the War). You've certainly provided food for thought there, and I wonder whether others have anything to add on this subject. I certainly agree that it is very dangerous to the cohesion of society to make any group feel that they are "outsiders" and under siege, especially, as others have noted here before, testosterone-filled young men!
"Authorities opened a new mosque for the community, but it was 1.5km away and worshippers said it was hard to reach."
So the authorities did accommodate these fuckwits but they are too lazy or incapable of walking, riding a bike or driving a car for 1.5km. Still I suppose that spending most of your life with your nose in a book and your arse in the air does rob you of some basic human skills.
Ugh, fascists using any excuse to disadvantage groups they don't like. I'm with the muslims on this one. Let them set up equivalent facilities that other religious groups enjoy, no more, no less, and have done with it.
@Gedediah: They already have. They built a new mosque a whole mile away. If that doesn't suit then maybe they need to do what other groups have to do – buy the land where they want it if they can and build at their own expense. A whole mile away! now there's oppression for ya!
The new mosque is not 1 'mile' away it is 1.5 km away. That's 1500 metres. An average male – without hurrying – can walk about 10 metres every 8 seconds. So walking to the new mosque would take 8 X 150 seconds = 1200 seconds. This in minutes is 1200/60 = 20 minutes. Not much to sacrifice if you were really committed to your god?
Okay – it's 0.93 miles away then.
Sorry sailor I was not getting at your 'mile' – I was trying to show how short a walk it was, especially if you pretend to be so, so committed to your nut-job in the sky.
